llt'StXKSS OA * A CASH IIASIS.
These people who got together nnd
endorse the platform ndoptoil by the
convention which mot nt Cincinnati to
start tlio movement known by the niuno
of the people's parly , have probablv
given very llttlo Intelligent considera
tion to what that platform proposes
with regard to money. The Cincinnati
convention demanded that legal tender
treasury notes bo Issued In sulllclonc
volume to transact the busi
ness of the country on a.
cash basis , such nolos to bo
legal tender in payment of all debts ,
public and private , and when domandnd I
by Iho people these notes shall bo j
loaned to them at not more than " per
cent per annum upon non-porlBhablo
products , as Indicated In the sub-treas
ury plan , and also upon real estate with
proper limitation upon the quantity of
land and amount of money.
How many farmers who have given
lliolr approval to this proposition
have taken the trouble to ana-
ly/o it in order to see
what it really moans and what it would
load to ? In the llrst place , treasury
notoa being only promises to pay , for it
Is presumed the advocates of tlio now
monetary policy do not Intend that they
shall bo i'.Todeontablo , their issue aa
pi-oposud would simply bo a substitu
tion of government for individual credit ,
and it Is not oloarhow this would enable
the country to do bii incs.s on u ciwh
basis. We should simply bo using
the credit of the government , repre
sented by Its paper promises
to pny cash , instead of individual credit ,
ropi-OHonted by checks and drafts. One
form of credit would give place to
another , and us individual credit is tlio
root of all credit , how long could govern
ment credit bo maintained when there
was no longer individual credit.
But if this consideration Is too com
plex for the nvor.igo advocate of
Hat money and the sub-treasury
scheme , perhaps they will have
no dilllculty in understanding what
an issue of currency equal to the
transactions in cash of the entire busi
ness of tliis country means. How many
thousand millions of dollars would suf
fice for the purpose ? it is estimated
that the volume of business transactions
last year was not loss than tun billion
dollars , 0- per cent of which was clone
with chocks and drafts , that is , in
dividual credits , which it is proposed to
do away with. When the government
Moated about four hundred millions of
greenbacks it required S2.SO nominal of
them io buy either u gold or yil-
vor dollar. What would happen if 2o
or even 10 times that amount of
treasury notes were issued by the gov
ernment ? How long would it bo before
such a currency became as worthless as
confederate serin was even before the
overthrow of the confederacy was as
sured , and what would bo the effect on
the credit of the government with such
a load of paper to carry ? And the
farmer and laborer would bo the grenV
est losers from such a state of things.
They trive the best they have their labor
and the products of their labor and
they ought to receive for it the best
money , but they will not do this if there
is money of dilfering values , for then
the bo.it is taken out of the channels of
trade and from commercial uses and
hoarded by those who can hnvo accum
ulations , vhUo it also finds Its way to
lands where it is wanted.
The farmer or workingman who be
lieves ho would bo benefited by uioro
money provided in' the way demanded by
the Cincinnati platform is deceiving
hirasolf. The farmer when ho sells his
wheat Is required to give a full bushel
In measure. Ho should receive , and the
buyer should bo required to pay him , a
full dollar in value. "Whon the laborer
performs a full day's work ho should receive -
coivo his pay in dollars as full value.
There could be no surer way than that
proposed in the Cincinnati platform
for bringing disaster to both the agri
culturist and the laborer.
liKST OF ALb I \VHSTMKNTH.
A writer in an eastern journal says
that the American farm is a treasure
and always will ho. Farm land Is moro
desirable property today , ho declares ,
than railroad stocks. It is a bettor in
vestment than town or city property.
"Tho next wave of wealth , " says this
writer , "bringing thousands of millions
of profit to those who invite it by invest
ment , will bo over the farms. The
farmer is going to bo the
citizen of prosperity and consequence
quence , and ho is going to rule in
public iiff-iirs. " It would certainly seem
that the time Is at hand when the owner
of a good farm will bo the most otiviablo
of men , and if ho knows how to got the
highest results out of his possession ,
will pursue the moat profitable of any
branch f industry. All signs indicate
a prolonged era of prosperity , possibly
to bo indefinitely extended , for the in
telligent , industrious and thrifty Amer
ican fumier. All investigation loads to
the conclusion that the day of low
and unprofitable prices for the products
of agriculture has gene by. Everywhere
the growth of population Is far moro
rapid than the increase of cultivated
lands , and while no limit can bo sot to
the former It Is but u qiuistlon of time
when the latter will bo exhausted. In
all probability Europe will never again
produce sulllclont grain to supply the
wants of its people , and as long ns the
United States produces a surplus there
will bo a market for it there.
Hut this will not bo perpetual.
The time will come , and in
the opinion of some it is not remote ,
when this country will produce no moro
than her own people can consume , but
It would seem cortuln that In any event
the farmer will hereafter got good prices
for all that he grows.
Such a prospect should have a con
servative inlluenco upon the ncrricul-
tural class. It should impress upon the
farmers of the country the desirability
os pee hilly of keeping the monetary sys
tem of the country on a sound
and etublo baslu , and of avoid
ing every financial expedient or oxpori-
munt which might , have the effect to de-
prcoiuto the purchasing power of any
part of the currency or to Impair the
credit of the government. The farmer *
of this country exorcise a great Influence
which their enlarged prosperity will in
crease , , and it in of the highest import-
nnco that the } * exert It In behalf of good
government and wise , just principle.- )
that will opcrato equitably for nil
classes. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
LOOKIfta TO STATKIHHW.
Arizona will hold a convention next
month to frame n constitution which it
IM Intended to submit to the people tit
once for ratification , and if tlio vote Is
fuvorablo the "next congress will bo
asked to admit the territory to state
. hood. It is staled that a majority of
both republicans and democrats are In
favor of fiiich action , nnd if that IH the
case there will of course bo no difllculty
In scouring the ratillcatlon of a
constitution. The aspiring polltlcliiim
of both parlies nro urging the movement.
According to the last census Arizona
had less than sixty thousand population ,
which is less than Idaho or Wyoming
had when admitted , and It is hardly
probable that congress will devolve the
responsibilities and obligations of state
hood upon a population loss than one-
third the number required to elect a
representative in congress under the
how apportionment. It is very doubtful
whether Wyoming and Idaho would
have been admitted had it been known
that their populations were no greater
than the census gives them , but the
chances are still moro unfavorable to
Ari/.ona for the reason that she has not
the resources which insures growth in
population and material development.
The growth of the lo.-rltory in 10 years
was only about nineteen thouslind , while
in the Hiuno period the population of
Wyoming increased -10.000 and that of
Idaho over fifty thousand. There is no
reason to suppose that statehood would
contribute materially to the progress of
Arizona.
Now Mexico will undoubtedly ask the
next congress for admission to state
hood , and she will have a very much
hotter claim to consideration than Ari
zona. The population of Now Mexico is
lolt.OOO , and the chief objection to mak
ing the territory a state is the Inct that
a largo porportion of the population is
essentially alien , having little know
ledge of or sympathy with American in
stitutions. It is not known whether or
not any effort will bo made for admit
ting Utah as a state , but on the score of
population the territory has a good
claim , the census giving her nearly two
hundred-and eight thousand , and she is
having n vigorous development. The
probability is that the element of the
population which will bo most Influen
tial at Washington will prefer the post
ponement of statehood until it is strong
enough to control a state government.
There need bo no hurry about con
verting the remaining territories into
states. It will do them ho Injury to remain -
main as they are a few years longer.

No settlement of the smelting works
controversy Is possible so long ns the
professional agitators are allowed to
manipulate the movements of the
smelting works employes. There are
however responsible men having the
respect of the community in the mem
bership of the Central labor union.
These , too , recognize the fallacy of at
tempting to do anything until the solf-
constituted leaders are discarded. In
the interests of the community at largo
it is hoped the honest , sincere friends of
the laboring men and of Omaha in that
organrzation will assert themselves and
intercede for a proper settlement of the
differences between the smelting
works and the employes. There is
reason to believe that the
interests of all parties would bo
properly conserved if the men of recog
nized character in the central organiza
tion were to tender their mediation to
both the employers and the striking
employes.
It is possible that their efforts
in this direction would bo rejected
for the reason that the smelters'
organization sustains no relation to the
central labor unionalthough this should
bo one very good reason for accepting
the proposed intermediation. Ono
thing is absolutely certain ; with Barton
and Nash on ono side , nnd self-consti
tuted , unauthorized , indiscreet and in
cendiary leadership on the other , noth
ing can bo done. They cannot moot on
common ground and can never agree.
They are antagonistic in every Darticu-
lar and nothing can bring thorn into
harmonious relations. The Central labor
union might propose to select ono man ,
Air. Barton to select another and those
two a third before whom all parties could
appear and submit their proposit Ions and
go to the striking smelters with a pro
posal for the arbitration of the dilliculty.
IT may not bo amiss to recall the fact

Royal Baking Powder ,
Strongest , Purest , Most Economical.
Certain baking powder makers are publishing falsified extracts
from the Government reports , with pretended analyses and certificates ,
wherein an attempt is made to compare their baking powders with the
" Royal , " or making bogus tests from house to house , their obvious
purpose being to counteract the recent exposures of the inferiority of
their own goods arising from their impurity , low strength , and lack of
keeping qualities as shown by the Government chemists and others ,
As to whether any of these baking powders arc
equal to the " Royal , " the official tests clearly deter
mine. o When samples of various baking powders
were purchased from the grocers , and analyzed by
the United States Government Chemists and the
Chemists of State and City Boards of Health , the
reports revealed the fact that the "Royal "contained
from 28 per cent , to Co per cent , more leavening
strength than any other cream of tartar baking pow
der and also that it was more perfectly made , of
purer ingredients , and altogether wholesome.
As these powders are sold to consumers at the same price , by the
use of the Royal Baking Powder there is an average saving of over
one third , besides the advantage of assured purity and wholesomencss ol
food , and of bread , biscuit and cnke made perfectly light , sweet , and pal
atable advantages not to be had in the use of the low grade , cheaply
made baking powders that contain lime , alum , and other impurities.
